IBM 46N5369 10Gb/s 1310nm 10Km Long Wave SFP Transceiver Module

Description

The IBM 46N5369 is a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver module designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connectivity. This module operates at a wavelength of 1310nm, commonly referred to as 'Long Wave' or 'LW', which enables significantly longer transmission distances compared to shortwave optics. It is specifically engineered for use with single-mode fiber (SMF) optic cables, allowing data to be transmitted reliably over distances of up to 10 kilometers. This transceiver is crucial for extending network reach between buildings, across campuses, or in metropolitan area networks (MANs) where the distance between network devices exceeds the capabilities of short-reach transceivers. The module typically features an LC connector, which is standard for high-density fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and robust link. Its 10 Gbps data rate provides the high bandwidth necessary for demanding enterprise applications and backbone network connections. The IBM 46N5369 is designed to be hot-swappable, allowing network administrators to install or replace the module without disrupting network operations. This feature is vital for maintaining high availability in critical network infrastructure. Its compatibility with IBM systems ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within IBM's networking and server environments.
